When -v is specified ftracetest will dump logs of test execution to the console which if -K is also specified for KTAP output will result in output that is not properly KTAP formatted. All that's required for KTAP formatting is that anything we log have a '#' at the start of the line so we can improve things by washing the output through a simple read loop. This will help automated parsers when verbose mode is enabled.
